A well intentioned rant about the current state of Advertising, with particular emphasis on Big Dumb Agencies (BDA's) Because, no matter how bad you think it is, it's actually a great deal worse!
"Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill pail." George Orwell.

Disclosure: I am a huge fan of Goodby Silverstein + Partners. I
think they have produced a consistently ass-kicking body of work over the last
twenty five years that puts the rest of the ad community to shame.

So, having said that, I also admire them for having the balls and
lack of preciousness to every now and again take the piss out of themselves.
Just take a look at this
wonderful video of GS+P tackling the Harlem Shake… Unlike all the other “Harlem
Shake” videos out there, the GS+P one has no one fucking dancing… That’s part
of the magic. Then tell me what other fucking agency would have the sheer
nounce to do this?
